It downgraded based on metrics. Pressures, hits, hurries, pass rush win rate things like that (Based on PFF’s numbers). Hendrickson got a lot more sacks because sacks is essentially a clean up stat. Rarely is it the first guy there getting the sack. The first guy makes the QB step up in the pocket or scramble and the second guy gets the sack.
At the end of the day, whichever player gets more help on the Dline over their contracts will look like the better player/deal.
In my opinion, our pass rush slightly decreased and our secondary slightly increased.
HOWEVER, if you’d like to say our pass rush stayed the same and our secondary stayed the same, I could see that as well.
Overall, we haven’t gotten worse and we haven’t gotten better. Still have a large chunk of money to get better. We aren’t done yet.
